Isolationism to Internationalism
• For more than 150 years, the American people were chiefly interested in domestic affairs, or what was happening at home.
• Foreign affairs, or the nation’s relationships with other countries, were of little or no concern.

• Isolationism, the purposeful refusal to become generally involved in the affairs of the rest of the world, was American policy during this time.
• Since World War II, however, U.S. policy has featured a broadening of American involvement in global affairs.

Foreign Policy Defined
• A nation’s foreign policy is made up of all the stands and actions that a nation takes in every aspect of its relationships with other countries.
• The President, the nation’s chief diplomat and commander in chief of its armed forces, has traditionally carried the major responsibility for both the making and conduct of foreign policy.

The State Department
• The State Department is headed by the secretary of state, who ranks first among the members of the President’s Cabinet.
• An ambassador is a personal representative appointed by the President to represent the nation in matters of diplomacy.
• The State Department issues passports, certificates issued to citizens who travel or live abroad.
• Diplomatic immunity is usually applied to ambassadors and means that they are not subject to the laws of state to which they are accredited.
